Report from Occupy Milwaukee Oct 15, 2011 - Pic Heavy
Inspiring turnout for Occupy Milwaukee today. By my very unscientific estimate, some 10,000 folks marched in support of the Occupation.

As you would expect in Milwaukee, we gathered at place tied to working people. Zeidler Union Square is a Milwaukee County Park smack dab in the middle of downtown.





A welcoming committee in the park had arranged soft drinks, information booths, blue rooms, etc.





Deviating from the announced schedule (gotta keep ‘em guessing) we began the march on the banks about noon. Lots of great folks, lots of great signs. I’m proud to be a Cheesehead!































And finally, I love this T-Shirt…

1. Thanks!
Looks like the point was made in MKE.

Considering the population of Milwaukee metro area the turnout was tremendous!

9. I think I might have seen you on the freeway on the way down.
Did you have a recall Walker sticker in driver's side window with a scuba flag on bumper, by chance?
